Over here in Canada there is a product called Roundup, another called Killex
made by a different company which are still legal most places. It is an all
purpose herbicide which kills pretty well any vegetation on contact but is
inert almost immediately in the soil. you usually spray it however you can
apply it with a brush or even a fabric glove over a rubber glove. A little on
your hands won't likely hurt you but you should wash it off fairly quickly.
I don't know what it might be called in the UK.
There is also the possibility of a controlled accidental spill of petrol
which will kill it.
In the end though your going to want to pull it or scratch or scrape it out
of there. That is just a miserable task. The dirt left in the cracks though
will just offer bedding to new grass and weed seed and insect activity.
If you claw out the dirt between the pavers there is a product called
polymerized sand, I have seen it for sale in the UK, probably from building
supply vendors or other places you might buy paving slabs. It isn't cheap, you
brush it in between the pavers and pack it in firmly when things are dry. The
polymer sets up with moisture then and bonds to the pavement but remains a
little flexible. It is said to resist growth and insect activity.
I will be putting a load of it down on my project in a couple of weeks
hopefully.
